Liberty means that a man is recognized as free and treated as free by those who surround him.
Mikhail Bakunin
There are but three ways for the populace to escape its wretched lot. The first two are by the routes of the wine-shop or the church the third is by that of the social revolution.
Mikhail Bakunin
The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.
